Chapter 38

Over the next two days, Liu Meng focused on typing, producing over 200,000 words a day. By the end of the National Day holiday, he had just surpassed two million words, completing about half of his work.

A book friend named Sakura Stream replied again. The two had been in constant communication, and she had offered many sincere suggestions. It was clear that this book friend had been reading very attentively, which deeply moved Liu Meng. He even sent her his QQ number privately, hoping to add her as a friend for easier communication, but she hadn't added him yet.

These two days, Liu Meng had been sneaking to the computer lab to post his novel, fearing he might run into Liu Ruyi. As for the romance forum post, he had updated it once, which greatly boosted the morale of the male students, causing the female students to be overwhelmed and defeated.

He was very afraid that the little girl with a gloomy mood might drag him out for another drink.

Last time, he got so drunk that it was embarrassing. Afterward, he was teased by the seniors, who kept asking him how he managed to get back to the dormitory entrance.

Liu Meng was also a bit hazy about it. After drinking so much, he couldn't remember much. He could only assume that he had relied on sheer willpower to make it to the dormitory entrance and then fell asleep as soon as he relaxed.

Liu Ruyi still went to Room 508 in the computer lab every day, happily posting and chatting, but she couldn't match the sheer number of male students. With the continuous updates from the instigator, San Pao, the male students' morale soared, overwhelming the few female students and causing a complete defeat.

Feeling frustrated, Liu Ruyi was very unwilling. Thinking of San Pao, she gritted her teeth in anger. She sent dozens of messages to the forum moderator, "I Am a Wolf," but he never replied, which made her even more unhappy.

It wasn't until the night before the end of the National Day holiday that the moderator finally replied. The girl quickly sent back her phone number, urging "I Am a Wolf" to call her as soon as possible.

Although "I Am a Wolf" had promoted Liu Ruyi to deputy moderator, the two had never met in person and didn't even have each other's contact information. Previously, "I Am a Wolf" had always responded quickly, usually within three hours, so Liu Ruyi hadn't been worried about not being able to contact him for a few days.

Ding, ding, ding... Liu Ruyi's phone rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, the girl softly said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Wow, such a gentle voice. It's me, 'I Am a Wolf.' You were so eager to find me. Your messages in the forum have flooded my inbox."

"Where have you been? I couldn't find you for days. I thought you had been shot by a hunter. What kind of hole did you crawl into? You're a wolf, not a dung beetle," Liu Ruyi immediately revealed her true self, venting a week's worth of frustration, her voice rising sharply.

"...... I didn't expect you to be so eager to find me...... I was with my girlfriend," "I Am a Wolf" said timidly.

After venting her emotions, Liu Ruyi immediately remembered why she was looking for him. She mainly wanted to find out who the damn San Pao was so she could beat him up. Since she needed his help, she couldn't be too harsh. Thinking of her earlier outburst, she softened her tone, "Oh, actually, I don't have any urgent matters. I just wanted to invite you for a meal to thank you for promoting me to deputy moderator. When are you free? The sooner, the better. I can't wait to meet you."

This sudden change in tone made "I Am a Wolf" a bit flustered. He weakly asked, "Do you have a twin sister next to you......"

......

The long National Day holiday finally ended. Fortunately, the first day of class didn't have any major exams, so Liu Meng could continue writing his novel. However, he received two pieces of news. The first was from the study committee leader, who informed him that the mid-term exams would start next Wednesday. This was a unique feature of the first year, and Liu Meng wasn't too worried. While getting first place might be challenging, making it into the top ten was definitely possible.

After all, being first required not just talent but also no gaps in knowledge and a lot of hard work to make up for any deficiencies.

The second piece of news was from the class president, Guo Yu, who announced that the class planned to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival party after the exams. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival fell during the National Day holiday, everyone had gone out to play, and upon returning, they had to prepare for the mid-term exams. Therefore, the party was scheduled after the exams, allowing everyone to celebrate and strengthen their friendships.

This news was a headache for Liu Meng. The class fund had already been spent halfway, and there was no money left for the party. This was a very urgent and worrying issue.

Liu Meng was very anxious, pulling out two strands of hair. The novel was still in its early stages and couldn't generate any income yet. After much thought, he decided to take on another tutoring job to tide him over.

Thinking of this, he immediately remembered his second tutoring job in college, which had excellent pay. However, the thought of the little girl made his head spin.

Originally, after the incident with the little fat boy, Liu Meng had finally found a reliable tutoring job, but it only started in the second semester of his first year.

Moreover, Liu Meng was the third tutor for the little girl.

A very capricious and mischievous little girl, whose mother was an associate professor in the Chinese Department of Ice City Normal University, surnamed Guo. Her father, whom Liu Meng had never met, was said to be doing business in Nanyang, with some mysterious stories behind it.

During the winter break of his first year, Old Ma, through the introduction of his counselor Li Xin, took on the tutoring job for the first time. He persisted through the winter break but decided not to continue after the semester started, citing that it was affecting his studies. As a super scholar, Old Ma prioritized his studies above all else.

After stepping down, Old Ma introduced Cheng Cheng to take over. Cheng Cheng was struggling with train tickets at the time. His parents' living expenses were limited, and he couldn't afford to travel back home every few weeks. He persisted for three months, returning each day with a very grim face. Once he earned enough money for a semester's worth of train tickets, he immediately quit.

His reason was that summer vacation was approaching, and he wanted to go back home to be with his girlfriend.

Liu Meng then took over the job, becoming the third tutor for the little girl.

In fact, the tutoring task given by Professor Guo, the little girl's mother, was very simple: just make sure the child finishes her homework, and help her with any questions she has.

After taking over, Liu Meng was very pleased because the pay was very attractive. He went every evening and spent the whole day on weekends, earning 300 yuan a week without having to teach specific lessons.

However, once Liu Meng started, he realized how challenging the task was and understood why Old Ma and Cheng Cheng had given up after a while.

However, Liu Meng thought that he was short of money now and that Professor Guo's home had convenient internet access. The little girl's room had a high-end desktop computer, which she used for gaming, reportedly costing over 20,000 yuan.

Now, Liu Meng's mindset was much more mature than before. He could have persisted for four months back then, so it wouldn't be a problem now. A girl under 11, in fifth grade, couldn't be that troublesome.

Liu Meng was a bit overly confident. After all, even Sun Wukong, who came from a stone, almost overturned the heavens and required the intervention of Buddha to be captured.

However, the immediate concern was how to connect with Professor Guo. He couldn't just barge in and say, "I'm a student from Ice City University of Technology. Please hire me as a tutor."

She might think he was crazy.

Moreover, Professor Guo had only started hiring a tutor during the winter break. It was uncertain if she had the same idea now.

Furthermore, Professor Guo was very serious and professional. The method of self-recommendation might not gain her trust. Initially, Old Ma had introduced Cheng Cheng, who then introduced Liu Meng, building a chain of trust.

A complete stranger showing up to self-recommend was impossible!

He needed to think of a better way. It was better to be invited than to self-recommend.

For now, he would observe the situation and make a decision based on that.

Although Professor Guo Yunting was already an associate professor, she was not very old. She had fallen in love with her husband in college and married and had a daughter right after graduation, even before getting married. So, despite having a daughter around 10 years old, she was only about 33 years old. With excellent skincare, she looked like a recent college graduate.

She had a slim and graceful figure, exuding a literary and artistic aura.

She loved running, especially around the Long Tower near Ice City TV Station, which was in a wealthy area with a very quiet environment.

At 4:30 PM, Liu Meng arrived at the Long Tower, pretending to read the tower's history.

The Long Tower, 336 meters high, was started in October 1997 and completed in December 1999. It is a comprehensive multi-functional tower that combines functions such as broadcasting and television signal transmission, tourism, dining, entertainment, advertising, environmental and meteorological monitoring, microwave communication, and wireless communication.

The total area of the Long Tower is 15,991 square meters, with the base covering 12,951 square meters and the tower building 3,040 square meters. The base consists of one underground and four above-ground floors, forming a spherical shape.

The tower body is an octagonal prism, with a parabolic shape. The middle is a cylindrical shaft, surrounded by seven silver-white aluminum plates and nine dark blue coated glass panels, with an observation elevator running at 2.5 meters per second.

The tower building is located between 181 and 206 meters, consisting of a saucer-shaped lower tower and a circular upper tower. The antenna is set between 220.5 and 336 meters.

......

While idly reading, a light blue figure passed by, and a unique scent wafted over. Liu Meng watched the slender waist and natural, rhythmic steps, exuding a youthful aura. Her long, smooth hair was simply tied up. By the time he looked up, she was already ten meters away.

It had to be Guo Yunting.

How could he attract her attention and get her to invite him home as a tutor? Liu Meng frowned, deep in thought. As Guo Yunting's figure faded into the distance, a confident smile slowly spread across his face.

With that, he quickly followed her. ...... Please support and recommend!
